Lens Baby Alley

Comment:
When we glance at the hidden, unattractive back alleys and electric meters, out attention usually highlights just a couple of key aspects while the rest could just as easily be blurred and unnoticed. The lens baby effect imitates this well, which I appreciate somewhat to my surprise (I like many kinds of blur, but usually don't like the lens baby results).

Pastel tones reflecting on the river seem fitting for a city known for art.

I like the diagonal swath of grass between the broken stone, emblematic of the gentle power of nature gradually hiding an entire city over many years.

Nice balance of building and sky/clouds. Gardens at the back of buildings can remain hidden from most people. Thanks for revealing it to us.

Hidden in Plain Sight

After appreciating the graphic on the wall and the use of motion blur to "hide" the walking child, I came back to look again and found myself noticing and appreciating the mix of colors and texture on the sidewalk. Interesting combination.

Although an obscure (perhaps "hidden") setting in some city, this image has elements that feel universal to newer cities everywhere, and make it seem strangely familiar.

Comment:
These little places, "hidden" along side streets, give cities much of their individual flavor. Do tell us what city this is.

Interesting architectural details and a peaceful evening setting that must have been quite a challenge to capture so well.

The patterns of the lines are so striking, I almost missed the cat. Definitely "hidden".

Colors of Udaipur

You'd have to travel far from my city to find this fellow. Very colorful and captured without distracting elements. Because the color tones are light and bright, you might consider using something other than white for the edges.
